Mag's Cafe

Came by yesterday at the recommendation of a friend. They told me they had GF items there. But when I went, they said they were out. Bummer for me. So I just ordered a side of grits and scrambled eggs. My friend ordered a whole meal that they loved. It had eggs bacon avocado and home fries. They used a ginger hot sauce to eat it with. I didn't really like my eggs. They were flat and not fluffy and looked like there was pepper added to them? But the grits were great. And they don't come with butter either, which is good for me since I'm also dairy free. This location has indoor and outdoor seating. But remember, you are downtown, so you will see a variety of odd things by sitting outside. I sat inside which was comfortable. Wasn't too cold either. Menus are on the outside of the building. They have a separate breakfast and lunch menu also.

This is the absolute best place to eat downtown. The food is awesome, the service is AMAZING! The best part of my day is coming to see the team at Mag's! They are so sweet and kind and their food is never a disappointment!

This little place across the street from James Weldon Johnson park was a godsend on a recent afternoon when the food trucks failed to show up during the weekly concerts in the park event. Had a reasonably priced grilled cheese sandwich and service was friendly. Adequate cafe tables inside and out. Parking is metered on the street on weekdays and I think they close mid afternoon. Lots to do in this block so it's worth a visit. The live music, MOCA, Chamblins Book Mine. The park is being upgraded as of July 2023, so will revisit the area when that is completed.

Ordered for lunch and had it delivered. The chicken soup was delicious. The flavors and seasonings were all perfect. The main street burger was kind of dry but it was seasoned well. Their potato salad took me by surprise, it seemed to be dijon mustard based with capers, possibly? It was unqiue. I will be back to try out more stuff.

Wonderful Cafe in the heart of downtown Jacksonville. Service was friendly and accommodating and they were knowledgeable about the menu and the area of town we were in. We actually ate breakfast there first and came back the next day for lunch. For breakfast I had the build a bowl, my wife had an omelet, and my daughter ate a biscuit sandwich. All were delicious, so much so wet came back the next afternoon for lunch. Again not disappointed, I had the roast beef sandwich and it was too die for. Local cuisine with a smile 😊.
